Question

So I have a Button with an AutomationId (used by Microsoft UI Automation) like so:

<Button Name="myButton" AutomationId="myButtonAutomationID" 

Programmatically, I have the button (myButton) in code, how do I get the value of the ‘AutomationId’ property attached to that button?

Answer 1

DependencyObject.GetValue should do the job:

string automationId = 
    (string)myButton.GetValue(AutomationProperties.AutomationIdProperty);
